Complete and sign all required forms, then return them along with your full evidence portfolio. Ensure every section is filled in, all signatures are included, and all supporting documents are attached before submitting.
03

Assessment and Competency Review

Your RTO Assessor will review and map your evidence against the required unit competencies. Where further clarification is needed, a competency conversation will be conducted to confirm your knowledge and skills.
04

Outcome Issued

Once assessed as competent across all required units, the RTO will formally issue your certificate or Statement of Attainment. Your real-world experience is now officially recognised as a nationally accredited qualification.

FAQ

The Answers You Need Before You Start Your Resources and Infrastructure Recognition
I've worked in civil design for years without a formal diploma. Can RPL recognise that experience?

Yes. If you can demonstrate real civil construction design experience through project drawings, technical documentation, and references, that experience can be assessed against RII50520 Diploma of Civil Construction Design.

Does completing this qualification alone let me sign off on civil designs?+

No — the qualification itself is nationally recognised, but sign-off authority and any professional registration requirements are set separately by state and territory regulators, so you'd need to check those requirements once your qualification is issued.

Does my experience need to come from roads specifically, or does mining and resources infrastructure count too?+

Broadly, yes. What matters is whether your day-to-day design and technical work matches the required units — your Navigator can map experience from resources, roads, or wider infrastructure projects.

What's the difference between the Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels in civil design?+

RII50520 Diploma of Civil Construction Design recognises design-level competency, while RII60520 Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design is aimed at more senior technical or project leadership responsibilities.
